Thomas, who has kept a pretty low profile since Home Improvement ended in 1999, is set to appear in one episode as the manager of a high-end restaurant who becomes entangled with Mike's (Allen) family when Mike's daughter Kristin (Amanda Fuller) applies for a job.

An airdate for Taylor's episode has yet to be confirmed.

Aside from playing Allen's son Randy Taylor, aka the hottest Taylor brother, Thomas has made guest appearances on Smallville, Veronica Mars and 8 Simple Rules. His upcoming appearance on Last Man Standing marks his first TV gig since 2005.

Last Man Standing airs Friday at 8 p.m. on ABC.
